[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/2] shell: Add checkpoints api for new lib

[Joerg Vehlow]

From: Joerg Vehlow <joerg.vehlow@aox-tech.de>

The checkpoint api is even mentioned in shell-test-api.txt,
but with the old library used.
This also fixes the documentation.

memcg_lib.sh must be adapted in the same commit, because it already sets
TST_NEEDS_CHECKPOINTS=1 and had the ipc initialization code. This would
run the ipc initialization code twice.

Changes to v1:
 - Delete ipc file in _tst_do_exit
 - Replace TCID with TST_ID in ipc filename

[LTP] [PATCH v2 2/2] pec: Improve reliability

[Joerg Vehlow]

From: Joerg Vehlow <joerg.vehlow@aox-tech.de>

This fixes two problems:
1. It was possible, that the event listener was terminated,
before all events were recorded.
The listener now terminates, after receiving the exit event of the generator.
This also gets rid of the 100ms sleep in cn_pec.sh by
using proper synchronization points.
2. Sometimes exit events were generated in the wrong order,
Adding a short delay seems to solve this. While this adds in a new sleep,
it is just a 1 ms for default the execution.

[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/2] shell: Add checkpoints api for new lib

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Joerg,

LGTM, good idea.

But I'd rename $LTP_IPC_PATH to $TST_IPC_PATH to follow conventions to new API
(There are also some LTP_* definitions in the legacy C API which were renamed as
TST_* in the new API).

> +		rm ${LTP_IPC_PATH}
and here:
		rm $TST_IPC_PATH

Petr

No, not at all.
The first issue is a timing issue between the event generator -> kernel 
-> pec_listener,
that cannot be fixed by a volatile, only by correct synchronization.
The second issue is also unrelated.

Martin's fix is only for the rare case, where the exit_flag could be 
optimized out by the compiler,
which would have made the event_listener run forever instead of terminating.

This would also require changing the C API, because the environment 
variable is used for communicating with it.
I we want this, I guess it could be done in another changeset.

Ah, you right.
